 them throughout the autumnal months. Perhaps there is 

 no great difference in the number of flowers produced 

 plant for plant between given individuals of these two 

 primary divisions. The summer kinds produce large 

 quantities of flowers in the summer, and are consequently 

 more gorgeous at that season ; the autumnals flower then 

 more sparingly, and some of them give forth a second crop 

 of flowers at a later period, while others continue putting 

 forth driblets of flowers throughout the autumnal months

 the varieties comprising our two primary divisions. The 

 first division, summer Roses, may be arranged in 22 groups.
